The first issue was distributed to the association membership in February 1984. It is still published quarterly as of 2014, with the 122nd issue having the cover date of July 2014.[1] Rowrbrazzle is always looking for new members. Furry writers, artists, or journalists are invited to contact Haskell or any of the interim editors.

Fred Patten, onetime editor of Rowrbrazzle, had this view of 'Brazzle's significance:

My thesis is that furry fandom coalesced out of sf fandom and comics fandom, blending elements from both of them and achieving its own critical mass in 1983/1984. The first clear signs of the independent furry fandom were the creation of its first apa, Rowrbrazzle, and the decision by some fans to self-publish furry comic books because there seemed to be enough fans of stories with talking animals to support them (as distinct from earlier attempts to self-publish comics which had to hope for sufficient sales from the general public alone.)

...
Rowrbrazzle started in February 1984. Since it was specifically an apa for writing and drawing funny animals as a genre and discussing the new fandom that was forming about them, it is a handy landmark to say that "furry fandom existed at this time"[1]
